Don't bother setting up the vnc connection from home to the office, you do
not get any time to use it once you are a father (as in parent). Best is to
do your job before your wife delivers your child. Once the 'Newbie' is
around, you are also a 'newbie'-father and gonna get a lot of experience on
a totally different job.

Good luck with the new baby,

from an experienced father (my little girl is 5 years already ;-)

CBee


btw: if you like to do something with computers while the new baby is
around, get a digital photo camera and dump the pictures on a website on a
daily base and teach the grandparents how to see the pictures on internet
while they are not around your new child...

Slightly change here: the above hardware will serve as a webserver....
